Product Description
Baydur 426 IMR is a polyurethane high density structural RIM (HD SRIM) system used for automotive and light truck applications. This system is well suited for load bearing truck beds, tailgates, bumper beams, load floors, etc. It has excellent heat stability performance. Baydur 426 IMR composites can be used to replace steel or structural plastics for significant weight reduction and lower tooling costs. Due to its inherent nature, this system is corrosion and abrasion resistant.
